The way the forecast is here, it all depends where the line sets up. Most of the heavy stuff south of Louisville tonight and tomorrow. If they only get three inches in Louisville that's nothing for up there. They have the equipment to handle it.... Just add some driving time to your schedules and take it easy...:)

Well, my morning flight for tomorrow through Charlotte was cancelled. They were able to get me out tonight at 6:15! If I get out of NC ok I will arrive tonight around midnight. (Now to tell my boss lol).

My flight is going through Chicago on Saturday and it looks like the weather will be ok there. I usually try to go through Phoenix or Las Vegas be not this time.

Two hour layover so I will try to find some Chicago Beef at the airport.:D

There's great margaritas and food at Tortas in Terminal B at O'Hare. Pricey, but it's an airport.

I think you should grab a cold beer and a hot dog then load it up some of those hot peppers of yours. I am sure those sitting around you on the next flight would appreciate it.

Safe travels

Don't know many people here but I know Johnny B pretty well. I met Colonel Bille over drinks with JHB, Mr Henderson in casual conversation and of course I know 1P Steve. I hope to meet a couple more of you guys this year. A lot of people know me by name/face but not by nickname.

Look forward to getting there, hope everyone has a blast.

I just had to change my flight due to the snowstorm headed for Baltimore Washington. I won't arrive until Sunday afternoon this year, and flying through Chicago to skirt the snow -- if I am lucky.

I didn't get all of the specifics but one of our local players here supposedly won about $900 playing "1 ball" one pocket last night at the DCC. I have never played that before but sounds interesting :) Do you put the ball froze on the end rail on the middle diamond to start?

Also, I think Shannon Murphy won around $4,000 but not sure who he was playing or what the game was.

Geez, this time sitting here at work is killing me LOL, hurry up Sunday!

Last night T-Rex was giving RR the breaks for 500 a game. I left at 5:00am to get some rest so I Don't know who won.

I played a local guy last night and broke even. Lot of slide to these tables IMO but the pockets take everything.

Also, at the prodding of Miller, I just got into the Banks since I am here for it. I've never played it before but how hard can it be lol. True dead money. If I win one match I'll be satisfied.

Col Bille is here fresh off his grad school education from JB and Frost and wants to give me 9-7 but I'm ducking him. Fast Eddie is here as well.

The Hacker just drew SVB in the first round of Banks 😱.

Yes, we started that way with the 1st shot safe.

You were the one that played it last night Rod or you just mean that's the format you play when you play it? I figured with the ball on the end rail and the slice in your pocket being a hard enough shot that you were allowed to shoot it if you wanted but that adds another level to it now having to play defensive the first shot....

Thanks for the update Mitch! I would figure that TRex was the favorite in that game but who the heck knows...also, wish Hacker good luck for us :)
